1 DRAFT National Rural Water Association Identity Theft Program Model September 22, 2008 This model has been designed to help water and wastewater utilities comply with the Federal Trade Commission s (FTC) Identity Theft Red Flags Rule. National Rural Water Association developed the model and the FTC has reviewed, provided input which was incorporated, and confirmed that the model is consistent with their regulation. The rule requires utilities to develop a Identity Theft Program. The primary purpose of the rule is to protect against the establishment of false accounts and ensure existing accounts were not opened using false information. Utilities are first required to assess their existing identity theft risk for new and existing accounts. Using this information measures are selected that would be used to detect attempts to establish fraudulent accounts (red flags). The final step is identifying procedures for employees to prevent the establishment of false accounts and procedures for employees to implement if it is discovered that an existing account was opened using false information. Appendix A is a list of other security procedures a utility should consider to protect consumer information and to prevent unauthorized access. This regulation does not require utilities to adopt these measures, however, implementation of appropriate measures is a good management practice to protect personal consumer data. All utilities are required to comply with the FTC s Identity Theft Red Flags Rule. Utilities that only collect nominal information such as name, phone number and address, or utilities that rely on the local assessment and taxation office to direct them to open accounts are still required to comply. However, the actual identity theft risk established thru the risk assessment activity may justify no changes to existing policies or only require minor changes to incorporate relevant detection methods (red flags). The information collected through this process should be used to develop the utility s Identity Theft Program. The Program should incorporate the policies and procedures including the red flags and the necessary actions employees should implement if a false account is attempted to be opened and the measures to take if an existing account is discovered that had been created using false identification. All utilities are required to have their Program developed, approved by the board or designated employee at the level of senior management (DESM), and the appropriate employees trained by November 1, Lastly, the plan must be updated periodically. An annual report must be reviewed and approved by the utilities board or DESM. The report should address any material matters related to the Program such as the effectiveness of the policies and procedures, the oversight and effectiveness of any third party billing and account establishment entities, a summary of any identity thefts incidents and the response to the incident, and recommendations for substantial changes to the program (if any).

The primary means to assess your current risks is summarized in Section 4.1. These include methods a utility uses to open accounts, methods to access
